Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has the fluid athleticism and speed to cover tight ends and maybe even some big slot receivers. Bishop has the ball skills to create turnovers. He also has value as a blitzer.
- He has the ability to move down and cover tight ends, with the fluid hips to turn and the speed to run with anyone down the middle of the field.
- His ball skills are very good. He tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Bishop isn’t targeted often.
- Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
- Shows good instincts when facing the action in zone coverage, and he has solid ball skills.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and has the innate feel for high-point passes. He’s willing to come up and fill against the run and seems to take pride in delivering violent hits in run support.
- Bishop has good size and is a fluid mover, capable of mirroring quickness underneath
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. Bishop might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
- Has a lean, narrow frame and needs to get stronger.
- Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
